MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi Gabes, Thanks! Interesting about the vitamin E! I’ve been taking a vit E supplement prescribed by my ophthalmologist, also evening primrose oil he prescribed. I’ll have a look. God, now I have to check all my face creams for soy. It’s hard to believe we can be so sensitive to the amounts that mus...

Thank you so much, Tex. I've just put sweet potatoes in the oven to roast! Also, since I react to Tuna, would that mean that I can safely have sea bass, or sole? I don't like salmon anyway. Or does it mean that seafood is out? I'm very allergic to oysters...maybe mussels are ok? Maybe this is a sill...

Good morning, I have received my enterolab results and they are quite extreme. I've been trying to figure out how to add a photo of the results but so far I've not been successful. Basically there were no foods to which I had no significant immunological reaction, no foods to which I had some immuno...

Thank you, Tex.

Good morning, I've been on the elimination diet for 5 weeks now, taking 400 to 500 mg of Dr's Best Lysine Glysinate magnesium, and 5000 iu of Vitamin D3 per day. I can honestly say I haven't felt this well in years. My BM's are not yet ideal (still a bit C), but I've had no D since I started the die...

Hi Gabe, Sorry, I only just saw this. I had not yet found the notifications button at the top of the front page. Thank you for thinking of me! I’m 61. I’m on hormone replacement and have been for years. I will have a proper read through what you sent me, but I don’t know if, as I am on hormone repla...

Thank you for answering. You’re right, healing this is going to take ages. I just got a bit worried, a little overwhelmed. I feel better now. I’ll try to get a good night’s sleep.

Hello again, I am a little over two weeks into the elimination diet and today I feel totally exhausted. I feel lightheaded, and a little anxious. I’ve tended to have headaches over the past few years and these past few days I can’t do without taking paracetamol. Is fatigue a symptom of detox? I’ve b...

Again, thank you so much for your generous, precious feedback. I feel better, although I have dips in energy and get tired. I suppose it’s my body getting used to this new way of eating. Still slightly C… when you talk about a stool softener would magnesium citrate be a possibility? I’m terrified of...

Hi, thanks to both of you for your replies. I’ve dropped butter. The GF buckwheat bread seems to be ok but I’ve been reading a Paleo book and it says absolutely no grain not even buckwheat! What do you think? I made banana pancakes this morning, just with an egg and a banana. I’ll see what happens !...

Thank you, I had a BM this morning when I woke up (can’t believe I’m posting this , I mean, seriously 🙄🤪🤣). I have found a baker who makes fresh buckwheat bread, is that ok early on? With honey? Do I have to stop butter too? I don’t seem to react to it. Obviously no milk, I’m using almond milk and h...

Hello, I’m new to the forum, and have just been diagnosed with LC. I had bad D for three and a half months, finally saw a gastroenterologist and got the news last Tuesday. My gastroenterologist prescribed the B medicine (can’t think of the name right now, sorry!) , but I’m reluctant to take it becau...
